Update contents

Changes to Splatfests

In cases where matchmaking takes a long time, due to a lack of players on the opposing team, a match between players who voted for the same side will take place.

You can still earn Splatfest points when playing against others who voted for the same side.

Final Splatfest results only take into account the outcomes of matches between players on opposing sides of the Splatfest topic.

If you launch the game before the Splatfest's start time, it may be possible to join the Splatfest up to five minutes early. All players will be able to join at the official start time. This is to ensure players can smoothly join the Splatfest.
